Hello,
We run a 2005 vermeer bc1000xl wood chipper with about 1200 hours on it. The clutch bearing kit has been upgraded and the throw out bearing just went for the second time in just over a year.
I have been reading a lot and some pages suggest that it may have something to do with alignment on the pressure plate but that was on pages about vehicles but I figured the concept was the same, I am NOT a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination, I mostly break things. I have been digging trying to find someone else that has had the same issues with this bearing, it is the bearing that the bottom part of the belt rides on that is moved by the clutch lever. I will attach pictures.
We are going to order parts Monday and have it repaired but was hoping maybe someone will have an idea of what could be continuing to cause this issue.
thank you,
Jonathan
Ps I know it’s kind of a terrible picture but if you’re familiar with this chipper you will know what it is of. The bearing that the belt rides on is rubbing on the metal that the bearing rides on which it is not supposed to be doing. There is supposed to be about 1/8 inch of space there.
